novel Leve leres. St >l well known, says a eontemspo Vary, that, when the petals of the great aurel Magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact is taken advantage of by the South American lover, who pulls a magnolia bower, and on one of its pure white petals writes a motto or message with a sharp pointed pencil. Then he sends the Sower, the young lady puts it in a vase of water, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf becomes perfectly visible, and remains so. venom Inhaled with the Air, And imbibed with the water of a malarious 10. celity, has still a certain antidote.
